How can collaborative handling scenarios be implemented in non-structured environments? SCHUNK has looked into this question in cooperation with KUKA and Roboception. In a technology study, the three companies show how bin picking can succeed in collaborative operation quickly, simply and efficiently.
When it comes to transporting heavy or fragile goods and applications that involve manual tasks, zero pressure accumulation simplifies work on conveyor belts. Individually timed conveyor systems maintain a pre-defined distance between individual products and packages while also preventing damage from unwanted collisions.
Nexen Group, Inc. introduces a stainless steel version of its patented precision roller pinion system (RPS). The Nexen RPS engages two teeth simultaneously to achieve superior accuracy with zero backlash at any length. The system is also extremely quiet, and 99% efficient.
Festo’s newest compact vacuum generator, the OVEL, addresses the need for an economical, fully integrated unit that is very lightweight, versatile and easy to deploy and maintain, even for its size class. It’s ideally suited for applications that involve quick, reliable small-parts handling.
SICK is launching its newest safety laser scanner, outdoorScan3. It is the first safety laser scanner certified to IEC 62998 for use in outdoor applications.
SCHUNK has developed the VERO-S NSE-A3 138 automation module specifically for automated machine tool loading as well as for applications in handling, assembly and automation technology. The clamping module is part of the extensive SCHUNK VERO-S modular system, which enables more than 1,000 possible combinations for efficient workpiece clamping.
